This just makes no sense whatsoever. Of all the things to claim someone to be, why bother claiming this? Do they understand the meaning of the word humanitarian? It’s like they go absolutely out of their way to tell a lie.

The point is the lie, it signals loyalty, the bigger the better.

The other point is just obliterate objective truth, so nothing has any meaning

But is Putin even remotely concerned with being (erroneously) referred to as a humanitarian? Has he at any point indicated that that is something he cares about? You’d think that they would be more strategic and efficient with their lies at least. Unlike some people, I don’t think Putin is out there campaigning for a Nobel prize.
